Over the past two decades, artists and writers have increasingly used science fiction as a lens through which to search for fragments of truth emerging from the past or the future. Organizing its contributions according to four distinct approaches--"estrangement," "futures," "posthumanism," and "ecologies"--this publication gathers key examples of the influence of science fiction in recent cultural development like the integration and acceleration of technological change, global urbanization and concepts of futurity, the boundaries of social structures and nonhuman life, and the threatening evidence of climate change.
